1- that which is not part of the Qur’an cannot enter it and that which is in the Qur’an cannot be taken out.

2- According to Qatadah, Baatil refers to Shaytan. Shaytan cannot alter it or change its wahy (revelation).

3- taktheeb: denial. Taktheeb coming from front of it means a book from the past that contradicts it. There is no scripture from the past that contradicts it. Taktheeb coming from behind it means no book in the future can refute, abrogate or nullify it.

Baatil cannot approach it because it is:

تَنزِيلٌ مِّنْ حَكِيمٍ حَمِيدٍ

(it is) sent down by the All-Wise, Worthy of all praise. (41:42)

It is a book from Allah azza wa jal. Tanzeel is a gradual revelation.

He is:

Hakeem: He ta’ala has made the Book in such a style, with such meanings, evidence and examples that no baatil cannot enter it.

Hameed: He ta’ala is Praiseworthy because He revealed such a book. Only He could reveal a Book that is applicable in every era, for every time and for everyone.

Despite many efforts to change the Qur’an since its revelation, nothing can be altered or added to it because it is revealed from Al Hakeem Al Hameed.

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “All the descendants of Adam are sinners, and the best of sinners are those who repent."

Great sister Seek may Allah bless you. It tells some special features of this book. We can add more. As for the time do not say sorry, me too so busy. We just have to fight to do it. Allah will help us to do more here and benefit many people even after we leave or die. May Allah have mercy on us.

And whoever seeks a religion other than Islâm, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers(3:85)

sisters I wonder about something and hope you can answer me. Is it right the Christians do not say Allah??? They say only God? Is not Allah is God in their believes? please reply about this part. I have heard about it but not sure.

If it is true, then we all have to use only Allah to differ from them.

Hadith #1

"Actions are but by
intentions"

'Umar b. al-Khattab narrated that
the Prophet (S) said: Deeds are [a result] only of the intentions [of the
actor], and an individual is [rewarded] only according to that which he
intends. Therefore, whosoever has emigrated for the sake of Allah and His
messenger, then his emigration was for Allah and His messenger. Whosoever
emigrated for the sake of worldly gain, or a woman [whom he desires] to
marry, then his emigration is for the sake of that which [moved him] to
emigrate." Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim.

Al-Shafi'i said that it
comprises a third of all religious knowledge. Ahmad b. Hanbal said that the
principles axes of Islam, in terms of hadith, are three: the hadith
of 'Umar that "deeds are judged only by intention,....."

The first sentence of
the hadith, "innama al-a'mal bi-l-niyyat," is a declaration that the
voluntary actions of a person are a consequence only of that person's purpose
to perform the act or bring it into existence ("la taqa' illa 'an qasd min
al-'amil huwa sabab 'amaliha wa wujudiha.").? The second sentence,
"wa
innama li-kulli imri` ma nawa,"is a declaration of religion's judgment of
the act in question ("ikbar 'an al-hukm al-shar'i").? Thus, if the intention
motivating an act is good, then performance of the act is good and the person
receives its reward..

As for the corrupt intention, the action it
motivates is corrupt, and the person receives punishment.

If the
intention motivating the act is permissible, then the action
is permissible, and the actor receives neither reward nor
punishment.

Therefore, acts in themselves, their goodness, foulness or
neutrality, from the perspective of religion, are judged according to the
actor's intention that caused their existence.

Despite the
importance of having a good niyya, and its centrality to Islam, it is among
the most difficult things to achieve.

Thus, Sufyan al-Thawri is reported to
have said, "Nothing is more difficult for me to treat than my intention (niyya) for indeed it turns on me!."? Yusuf b. Asbat said, "Purifying one's
intention from corruption is more difficult for persons than lengthy
exertion (ijtihad)."..

________________________________________________________

An act that is not done
sincerely for the sake of Allah may be divided into
parts:

The first is that which is solely for display (riya) such that its sole motivation isto be seen by others in order to
achieve a goal in the profane world, as was the case of the Hypocrites in
their performance of prayer, where Allah described them as "When they join
prayer, they go lazily [with the purpose] of displaying [themselves] to the
people."

At other times, an action might be partially
for the sake of Allah and partially to display one's self in front of the
people. If the desire to display one's self arose at the origin of the
action, then the action is vain. Imam Ahmad reports that the Prophet (peace be upon him)
said, "When Allah gathers the first [of His creation] and the last [of His
creation] for that Day for which there is no doubt, a crier will call out,
'Whosoever associated with Me another in his actions let him seek his reward
from other than Allah, for Allah is the most independent of any association (fa-inna allaha aghna al-sharaka` 'anal-shirk)."

Al-Nasa`i reported that
a man asked the Prophet (peace be upon him), "What is your opinion of one who fights [in the
way of Allah] seeking fame [in the profane world] and reward [from Allah]?"
The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, "He receives nothing [by way of reward
from Allah'." The Prophet (peace be upon him) repeated this three times and then said,
"Allah accepts no deeds other than those that are performed solely for His
sake and by which His face is sought."

In conclusion, the saying of Sahl b. 'Abd Allah
is most beautiful in this regard: Nothing is more difficult on a person
than sincerity because the person gains no share of that [act].

Ibn
'Uyayna said that Mutarrif b. 'Abdallah would repeat the following prayer,

"O Allah! I seek Your forgiveness for that which I sought your repentance but
to which I subsequently returned; I seek Your forgiveness from that which I
rendered to You from my self, but then, I was not able to
maintain faithfully; and, I seek Your forgiveness from that by which I
claimed I desired your Face but my heart became corrupted with that which
I did."

Ibn Rajab's Commentary on Imam Nawawi's Forty Hadith

And whoever seeks a religion other than Islâm, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers(3:85)

Asslamu Alaikum sisters I wonder about something and hope you can answer me. Is it right the Christians do not say Allah??? They say only God? Is not Allah is God in their believes? please reply about this part. I have heard about it but not sure. If it is true, then we all have to use only Allah to differ from them.

Walaikum Salam wa Rahmatullah,

Glad to see you active sis.

I heard that Arab-christians and Jews, say God as Allah. Also, page -1 of Genesis contains word Allah 17 times. By the way Allah swt is not just rabb of Muslims, right !

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “All the descendants of Adam are sinners, and the best of sinners are those who repent."
